Hi All,
Not long bought a 1.9 Tdi Avant Quattro with 100k on it. Full VAG service history etc etc.
No fault codes on VAG com apart from electric engine mount issue which is being sorted.
Ive had lumpyness issues (only from really cold over night) and I also have the brake warning and 3 lights sometimes come up too. I am thinking it could be new battery needed.
Any how, I was expecting slightly better MPG. On average (even driving like a granny) the highiest I see is 39Mpg. Thats TOP what max! Even on a long motorway journey.
I am yet to do a full logged miles run (which i will do to see how much I get out of a topped up tank)
Is this about right? I notice that the Coolant Temp Sensor is still Black but I get no errors about it.
What do others get? I was expecting possibly 50mpg on a long run....I know the quattro drags it down slightly!
Also - The Trip computer doesn't measure miles it seems like my Cupra R on board computer does!
It only seems to do Average mph, miles left in tank, actual mpg and thats it.....
Cheers all as usual!
